Large Black Pig breed history
The Large Black Pig can be found throughout the world. They are mainly kept in small herds, a few of which date back to well before World War 2. "They are distinguished by their gigantic size, they are the largest of the kind I have ever seen, and as perfect a make as possible in pigs... their heads are large, with very long ears hanging down on each side of the face, so they can scarcely see their way." - Parkinson 1810 Breed History The Large Black Pedigree breed originates from the Old English Hog established in the 16th and 17th centuries. By the late 1880s there were two distinct types of Large Black, one to be found in East Anglia and the other in Devon and Cornwall. However the founding of the Large Black Pig Society in 1889 led to an increase in the exchange of stock between breeders in the two regions. Large Black Pig breed history - Page 2 |
